The game is set in Fairhaven which is currently under siege by a relatively organized (considering the races involved) horde of hobgoblins, orcs, goblins, and ogres. The second session began with the horde punching a hole in the northernmost wall of the city, and ended with the party doing a dungeon crawl through the sewers to seal off other possible avenues of access to the city core. I'm looking for some sidequests for my group to flesh out the characters and that don't necesarrily involve the plot. Basically to give the city guard (Controlled by House Lyrandar) some time to organize an offensive, and mostly just get the characters up to a reasonable level so that they can be involved in breaking the siege while not putting them in any real harm. The party consists of : 3 Human Cleric of Dol Arrah, 3 Changeling Rogue, and 3 Warforged Fighter. So I figured I might as well get a thread started to both aid myself in some ideas and give ideas to other DMs who need them. Here are some ideas that I came up with so far. 1) The rogue has caught the eye of a local guild of thieves called The Midnight Sun. Basically this quest entails an offer to join a guild. First he has to prove his worth, then undergo a guanlet trial to join officially. Haven't decided on the perks yet. Cleric probably won't like this unless otherwise convinced to go along with it. 2) Some local warforged loyal to the Lord of Blades see the recent weakening in the concentration of the city guard as an oppurtunity to overtake "The Fleshy Races".

An NPC buddy is dead at their hands, the murder assumed a casualty of war and forgotten. Can the party discover the subterfuge and avenge their friend by exposing it before the Cabinent Tricksters can do any more damage?
